West Notes: Rockies, Mariners, Lohse, Saunders

The Rockies are still looking for pitching but there's nothing brewing on the trade front, according to Troy Renck of The Denver Post (on Twitter). Renck believes that the Rockies may look into low-risk free agents like Derek Lowe and Freddy Garcia. We've yet to hear anything about Colorado and Lowe but they have checked in on Garcia.

The Mariners badly want a hitter but they're also looking at starting pitchers, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. However, sources say that Kyle Lohse is too pricey while the M's aren't willing to give Joe Saunders a three-year deal.
